cgi and c# ?

[GoodJobFastCar]

Hi,

Suppose I have a simple c# program which does something
like give me the current time.

How would I attach it to a cgi-bin action inside a webserver?

So if my browser sends something like:

http://whatever.com/c_sharp_cgi_date

The webserver would respond with something like:

Nov 16, 2006

Hi,

You can host a server-activated, single-call remoting object in IIS.

using System;

public class DotNetCGI
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Status: 200 OK");
Console.WriteLine("Content-Type: text/plain");
Console.WriteLine("");
Console.WriteLine("Today is " + DateTime.Now);
}
}

build in my Apache cgi-bin works as http://localhost/cgi-bin/dotnetcgi !

May I ask why you want to use CGI ? (it is rather mid 1990'ish)
